anyone have a good link for a bench engine stand?

i had a jig that i made to hold the case halves for assembly and it's broken now.  i don't feel like repairing it. 

alternatively, if you made one, post pics.


I found the one from Corsair, but they are never in stock.  I think they make like 3 at a time.,

Anyone else out there?

That's pretty fancy.

You can make one out of a couple of pieces of pine and a piece of all-thread.

That's what I had.  Want something a bit more permanent.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

nice, i like it.  probably more than i have the ability to do right now.. i could probably cut the plates and weld them to some angle iron

very nice

the old school valve covers look good on that.. is that a 92-93 SS motor?

I really like the rolling floor one -- it allows the operator to turn the engine on the stand......  And y'all know how I love Harbor Freight...

Thanks, dick.

I did have plans, but they got scrapped as I just spent the last hour reading all 12 pages of your build thread.
